Over the years, Stephen King has given us the most fright of any author of the scary and the macabre.
Even when you knew that you were reading a Stephen King novel, you were still scared to death once you got into it.
Knowing what to expect does not lesson the fright as it is unleashed on us through the pages of Stephen King books.
King has proved over and over again that he is truly the horror master.
His success stems from the fact that he is a master at writing the 'it just might be believable' stories like we read in 'The Green Mile'.
Who can forget 'Carrie',the story of a teenage girl with telekinetic powers. This is the earliest of King's published novels, and the one that rocketed him to stardom. Carrie White was an outcast, who is pushed beyond human limits when she is cruelly taunted in front of her Prom, and she unleashed her frightening power upon the small New England town of Chamberlain in 1979.
Leaving the school and town looking like a warzone, Carrie turns her power on the only person she truly loves and hates - her fanatically religious mother, with devastating results.
I am still scared to death of rabid dogs because of 'Cujo'. What about 'Christine', 'Creepshow', 'Bag of Bones'..........
